Guided Story
Look up, do you see the majestic dome of the old water tower? Imagine, over a century ago, this was where Barmen's water was stored. Back then, it was a technological marvel! If you look west, you can just make out the green expanse of the Hohenhager Bachtal. It's a stark contrast to the industrial history embodied by this tower. To your left, in the distance, is the Hatzfeld Church, another historical landmark of this area. Visit the tower at sunset, when the last rays paint it with a golden hue.
